国会议员单独点名了一名记者，尽管其他人也在录音。马里兰州共和党众议员安迪·哈里斯周二在与记者的吹风会上似乎失去了冷静，他点名了一名记者，并威胁说如果她用视频录下他，将追究法律责任。
The congressman singled out one reporter although others were recording. Maryland Republican Rep. Andy Harris on Tuesday appeared to lose his cool during a gaggle with reporters, singling out a journalist and threatening her with legal consequences if she recorded him on video.
“你没有我的许可进行录制。如果你录制，我们将把你移交给检察官，”哈里斯在一段由《巴尔的摩旗报》摄影记者拍摄的视频中对该记者说。该视频是在马里兰州剑桥他与民主党对手丹·施瓦茨的辩论之后录制的。
"You do not have my permission to record. If you record, we will refer you to prosecutors," Harris told the reporter in a video captured by a Baltimore Banner photojournalist following his debate against Democratic opponent Dan Schwartz in Cambridge, Maryland.
“这里每个人都在录音，”该记者回应道，她被确认为Capital News Service的数据记者Cat Murphy。“为什么我不被允许？”
"Everyone in here is recording," responded the reporter, identified as Cat Murphy, a data reporter at Capital News Service. "Why am I not allowed to?"
“但你不被允许，”哈里斯回应道。“我们是在一个双方同意州。你不被允许。”哈里斯刚刚离开一场有争议的辩论，当时一些观众在他试图将高柴油价归咎于民主党时对他笑出声来。“你很无礼，”他愤怒地说，并指向观众中的一位女性。
"But you are not allowed to," Harris responded. "We are in a two-party state. You are not allowed to." Harris had just left the contentious debate in which some in the audience interrupted him with laughter as he tried to blame Democrats for the high price of diesel. "You're rude," he said angrily, pointing to a woman in the audience.
哈里斯正在寻求第九次连任众议院议员，他多次引用马里兰州的全方同意法律——《马里兰州窃听和电子监控法》，该法律规定任何人故意拦截……任何有线、口头或电子通信均属非法，最高可处五年监禁和/或最高1万美元罚款。
Harris, who is seeking a ninth term in the House, repeatedly referenced Maryland's all-party consent law, the Maryland Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act, which makes it unlawful for any person to "willfully intercep. ... any wire, oral, or electronic communication" -- a felony subject to imprisonment for not more than five years and/or a fine of not more than $10,000.
但该法律仅保护私人对话，不适用于诸如公职人员在有认证记者参加的新闻发布会上的情况，因为参与者没有合理的隐私期望。
But the law protects only private conversations, not situations such as a public official conducting a news conference with accredited journalists where the participants have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
视频显示，至少有八名记者参加了与该国会议员的吹风会。墨菲周三告诉ABC新闻，她通过美国国会大厦的新闻画廊获得了 credentials。她补充说，昨晚的辩论不需要新闻登记。
The video shows at least eight journalists participating in the gaggle with the congressman and Murphy told ABC News Wednesday she is credentialed through a gallery at the U.S. Capitol. The debate last night did not require press registration, Murphy added.
“敬重地讲，这是一个公开论坛，”另一名记者在争论继续时对哈里斯说。“你知道法律吗？”哈里斯反驳道，越来越激动。
"With all due respect, this is a public forum," another reporter told Harris as the quarrel continued. "Do you know the law?" Harris retorted, growing agitated.
“我不是律师，”这位记者在质疑议员资格之前承认。“你是吗？你是医生。”“实际上，我是一名立法者，”哈里斯坚称，他本职是麻醉师。“是的，我实际上，我确实很了解法律。”当墨菲试图把冲突拉回到她关于美国与伊朗军事敌对行动的提问时，哈里斯环顾四周寻找执法人员，并呼叫一名警官。
"I'm not a lawyer," the journalist admitted before questioning the congressman's credentials. "Are you? You're a doctor." "Yeah, actually, I'm a legislator," affirmed Harris, an anesthesiologist by trade. "Yeah, I actually, I actually know the law well." When Murphy attempted to steer the clash back to her questions about U.S. military hostilities with Iran, Harris looked around for law enforcement and called for an officer.
“你说那本来可以进行得更顺利，也可以进行得更好。你这句话是什么意思？”墨菲就议员在辩论中关于伊朗的言论进行提问。
"You said that it could have gone smoother and it could have gone better. What did you mean by that?" Murphy asked regarding the congressman's comments on Iran during the debate.
“拿走她的相机。你要拿走她的相机。她在违法。事实上，把警官叫进来。她在违反两方、两方录音的法律，”哈里斯结结巴巴地说。“我们需要一名警官。”这位未具名的记者再次为墨菲辩护，主张马里兰州的两方同意法律适用于电话通信。
"Take her camera. You're going to take her camera. She is violating the law. In fact, get an officer in here. She's violating the law on two-party, two-party recording," Harris stammered. "We need an officer."
“在马里兰州，音频和视频必须获得双方批准，”哈里斯坚持道。“现在他们可能不需要在华盛顿特区获得批准。他们必须在马里兰州获得批准。她需要我的批准才能录制。”“我们是在公共场所，”墨菲坚持道。哈里斯没有等待警官回应他的请求，就推着走出了房间。
The unidentified reporter again spoke out in Murphy's defense, contending that Maryland's two-party consent law applied to telephone communications. "Audio and video have to have two-party approval in Maryland," Harris insisted. "Now they may not have to have it in Washington D.C. They have to have it in Maryland. She needs my approval to record." "We are in public," Murphy insisted. Harris didn't wait for an officer to respond to his pleas and pushed his way out of the room.
“她在毁掉你得到任何问题答案的所有机会，”哈里斯哀叹道。“再见，大家。谢谢她。谢谢——非常感谢她！”ABC新闻曾在周三试图联系哈里斯置评，但未收到回复。
"She's ruining all your chances to get an answer about anything," Harris bemoaned. "See y'all. Thank her. Thank -- thank her profusely!" ABC News attempted to seek comment from Harris on Wednesday but has not received a response.
